Here's how to add a user to the "cdwriter" group:
1. Load "userdrake", as root.
2. You should have a window with a list of the users configured on your
computer. Select the user you want to modify and click "Edit" (or just
double-click the user name).
3. A window will pop up. Select the "Groups" tab. You will see a two-column
list. The first list ("In Groups") shows the groups the user is in. The
second ("Available Groups") shows all available groups. You can use the "Add"
and "Delete" buttons to add/remove your user from groups.
4. For maximum system security, you should add yourself to as few groups as
possible. Add yourself to the "cdwriter" group.
5. Click "OK" at the bottom of the window. The window will close. Now click
"Save".
6. Exit UserDrake.
If you can't access UserDrake for some reason or other, you can use LinuxConf
(run "linuxconf" as root).
